I want to change the bulbs on the rear of my 480 to LEDs but I can`t figure out how to get at them and I`m afraid of damaging the holders.
There is a detailed guide by Glasgow Jim about the front lights but I can`t find anything on the rears and the Haynes is less than useful.
Is it so easy that it dosen`t need describing, and I`m just dim ????

Re: rear lights
I wouldn't bother with led brake bulbs on a 480 personally.
They respond quicker yes but wont be as bright and will set off the bulb-out light for sure, even if you get the canbus variety. I have tried it.
